Food for Thought

There is something
I really like about men

I have noticed that men
are much calmer than women and we women could really learn from them. Men take
their time to think things through, they don’t seem to worry so much and do not
rush things. Even in the midst of crisis they keep a level head. I have come to
admire this ability and am working on integrating it into my life as well. And
it seems to be working. As a result I find myself enjoying the process of doing
any kind of work or chore so much more - which makes me think of a statement I
once read by a Buddhist monk: “If you rush while doing the dishes to then sit
down and have a cup of tea – chances are that you will rush through drinking
your tea as well.” All moments of life are just that: moments that make up our
lives – why not savor them all and bring mindfulness and care to all of them –
no matter how mundane?
